‎Nap in the country. Nap in town‎

‎A Nap in the Country, the print on top, represents the mid-day rest of a rustic pair, who, while their sheep are calmly grazing and their dog is keeping faithful watch, are, beneath the shadows of spreading trees, indulging in forty winks in the open country, after their early morning toils. A Nap in Town, the print on bottom, which may also be taken as an afternoon siesta, though equally luxurious, is not enjoyed under such healthy conditions as the preceding the town pair are taking their repose with as much lazy ease as the circumstances will permit.
